Rodrock’s Summerwood Estates offers lush suburban retreat

Captivating and serene, delightful and luxurious – these are the residences and attractive home sites available to buyers in Summerwood Estates. Located in Rodrock Homes’ acclaimed Summerwood at 162nd Terrace and Quivira, this premier estate community with homes ranging from the $700,000s to more than $1 million is in the top-rated Blue Valley School District. Homeowners are able to embrace a gracious style of living and spend time al fresco, thanks to innovative design and well-curated amenities.

Boasting more than 50 acres of natural green space, Summerwood is far away from the city’s hectic pace. The community offers a private stocked fishing lake with fountain, kid-friendly sports court, zero-depth entry lagoon-style pool with cabanas, scenic views to be enjoyed from over two miles of neighborhood trails and spacious home sites.

“Summerwood Estates is a unique suburban retreat nestled within a vibrant community, perfect for discerning homeowners,” said Summerwood community manager Angela Fitzgerald and a real estate agent with Weichert Realtors Graham-Welch, LLC. “This feels like a special escape, yet is a short distance from everything you need. And it’s a rare chance for estate buyers to purchase a home or build in a truly exceptional neighborhood.”

Every well-conceived element of Summerwood adds up to a picture-perfect location – much more than a home, the community represents a lifestyle enhanced by generous amenities. According to Ellen Murphy, a real estate agent with ReeceNichols, the fishing lake was a favorite amenity for clients who purchased a home in Summerwood Estates.

“Their son fished on a regular basis and always caught decent-sized fish,” she said. “Plus the family enjoyed the large expanse of green space and frequent neighborhood gatherings – a genuine community feel.”

Where you want to be. Summerwood’s well-deserved reputation as a striking community defined by a family-friendly environment, bountiful open spaces and close proximity to desirable schools extends into Summerwood Estates. Mike O’Dell, a real estate agent with Group O’Dell Real Estate, Keller Williams Realty Partners, Inc., notes Summerwood’s unique aspects attract buyers eager for estate homes with quality craftsmanship, along with an opportunity to build.

“Summerwood Estates has the Rodrock experience that attracts families,” O’Dell said. “Buyers appreciate multiple floor plan options and the ability to build a house that suits them in a community with a great feel and design. It’s a place to enjoy spectacular sunsets, terrific amenities and a welcoming ambience.”

Relax in your own secluded estate retreat. The Raphael, one of the most memorable new home models in Johnson County, is an extraordinary 1½ story Summerwood Estates residence featuring five bedrooms and 5 ½ baths. Designed by award-winning architect Scott Bickford, the home represents collaborative design inspiration from industry leaders Groover Interiors and Rodrock Homes.

“This is truly a stunning home in a remarkable community,” said Rodrock Homes chief executive officer Brian Rodrock. “It’s typical of the attention to detail and trendsetting designs and floor plans found throughout Summerwood and Summerwood Estates.”

Buyers can bring their own builder to Summerwood Estates or choose from beautiful designs by some of the area’s top builders, including J.S. Robinson Fine Homes, Covenant Custom Homes, Starr Homes, and Rodrock Homes.

“We’re proud to have some of the area’s most well-regarded homebuilders here,” Fitzgerald said. “They represent homes with elevated design, superior workmanship and state-of-the-art products.”
